Mix well until fluffy. Place the fish heads, skin and bones in a large pot with the 4th onion, carrots salt and pepper to taste and cover with water. Bring to a boil. Wet hands for better handling and form the ground fish mixture into small balls. Drop them into the boiling stock. Reduce heat, cover and simmer 2 hrs. Remove the fish balls.
